Testimonials

  • “The activities helped to broaden students' understanding of what a scientist does and how he/she thinks. The activities were STEM based and focused on the NGSS standards, which has a stronger focus on the investigation and engineering practices involved in science. This is exactly what our students need in order to become knowledgeable, active citizens.” – Cory-Anne Johnston, Melrose Elementary – 5th Grade

​

  • “The field trip was an amazing opportunity to experience a wonderful place the students would never be able to see on their own.  The stations fit right in with our school year curriculum, as we currently are teaching our students about biomes and also about recycling, reducing, and reusing.  The activities helped our students make real-life connections with what they’ve been learning in the classroom.  - Bridget Gartner, Hoover Elementary – 3rd Grade
